Take 7 Minutes To Watch This New Final Fantasy XIII-2 Trailer

Do you like Final Fantasy games? Do you like Square-Enix's brand of role-playing game drama? Then spend seven minutes watching this new Final Fantasy XIII-2 trailer. Over on YouTube, the commenters tried to derail things by demanding Kingdom Hearts 3. You wouldn't do that here, would you?

Yeah...no thank you. I put my faith in SE, and they produced FFXIII (if you liked it, that's fine, but from just about every objective standpoint it was an atrociously designed game (yes the graphics were pretty and the music was good)). This looks like more of that except with quick-time events, towns, mini-games, and aspects of time-travel which are all good additions (although, you know, two of those have been mandatory since FF2...). But I'm sorry, the story...eh...the scenario sounds alright but that dialogue...brrr. Just make Kingdom Hearts games SE - it's just about all you can do right now - and stop making Final Fantasy into generic Anime crap. Get Masato Kato back to write a game or two (he wrote Chrono Trigger, Radical Dreamers, Cross, parts of FFVII, and a few more Square games), and get Yoshitaka Amano back in a role larger than 'make a logo'. Ah well...at least I'll have Last Story next year - yay Hironobu Sakaguchi/Nobuo Uematsu!
